‘The Crouching Spider,’ a concept meant to honor the delicate tapestry of spinners, was dedicated Thursday on the San Francisco Embaracdero at the foot of Mission Street. World renowned sculptor Louise Bourgeois, now 96-years-old, developed the concept over a thirteen year period. This two and one-half ton bronze sculpture is on loan to San Francisco for at least eight months as part of the San Francisco Arts Commission’s Sculpture in the City Program.Photo by Bill Wison

Her mother was a spinner, a weaver, when as a child Louise Bourgeois learned the repair of intricate tapestry.

Fragile threads of emotive color became the child’s first introduction to the world of the Art, a world where the tools to marvel at life, to capture a moment’s understanding, and to imprimatur her own ‘let this be believed’ rested in Bourgeois crafting.

A Parisian who moved to New York in 1938, her recognition as one the world’s leading contemporary artists spanned seven decades brining Bourgeois the National Medal of Arts from President Clinton in 1997.

Her creative foundation stayed with her — the weaving of expansive perception.

The spider as weaver defined the woman’s root cause and mothering as prime action.

Indeed, another child grown woman, Susan Leal, recalled her own mother’s admonition to Susan that she never kill a spider.

Leal, director of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) which funds the Crouching Spider San Francisco public exhibition, explained her mother’s reasoning during the November 15 morning dedication.

“When I was a child she would never let me kill spiders,” Leal recalled her mother’s instruction.

“Because, she said, ‘Never kill them — they’re one of the most important parts of nature.’

“So it’s come full circle for me. We’re very happy as the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to be participants in helping make San Francisco more beautiful.”

“As you know, we are doing a number of major infrastructure programs, basically seismicly upgrading our water system so that when the next one hits we will not be, our piplines, our tunnels will not be severed in a major earthquake,” related Leal.

“One of the benefits of the infrastructure program we have is that money we are able to set aside for public art.

“When we heard about the possibility of getting this sculpture we thought it was very apropos.

“You know, in the Hetch Hetchy system and those who benefit from the wonderful Hetch Hetchy system, we are also stewards of nature.

“We get the bounty of nature.

“One of the ways to express our gratitude for that is to display public art which also has a connection to nature.”

San Francisco is now more Arts oriented than at any time in its history, reported emcee PJ Johnston, who serves as president of the San Francisco Arts Commission and as film critic of the San Francisco Sentinel.

“Things don’t happen in San Francisco, particularly audacious things, unless you have the full support, the full commitment, of City Hall Room 200,” Johnston noted, “and the energy and the enthusiasm for the Arts as of our Mayor, Gavin Newsom, who is very much an Arts person.

“We really enjoy at the San Francisco Arts Commission perhaps the greatest commitment to focus on Arts in San Francisco — whether it’s public art or support for non-profit arts organizations or performing arts, visual arts, you name it — because Gavin Newsom is the most Arts focused mayor in the City’s history.”

Newsom confirmed his love for the Arts and public art in particular.

“I love this type of art,” Newsom began, “I don’t like it — I love it.”

“I think the vast majority of San Franciscans love this type of public art.

“We can do so much more.

“We have done in the last few years as much or more than in previous years, and I’m pleased with that, but I know that the best is yet to come.

“I know what’s in the queue in terms of temporary art and I also know what’s in the queue for permanent art.

“Not just the 85 pieces which were just completed on that 5.1 mile new light rail system but all these new public projects that are underway like transbay permanent artists who will have permanent art.

“So there is really an exciting energy in San Francisco right now for public arts.

“There’s more money now for the Arts, grants for the Arts… I’m commited that we’re really going to step up the funding and we’re really going to challenge people to think differently and to act differently.

“I say act diffrerently because what public art does, like great architecture and design, is not just physical.

“It changes your perspective. It changes the way you walk, the way you talk.

“If you think that’s just gobbledegook, I challenge you to walk into any magnificent building with an extraordinary atrium and tell me that doesn’t change your physiology, that doesn’t create a pattern where you stop and say, ‘Migosh, look how beautiful this is, look how magnificent this is, look how challening this is and enter a diffferent kind of conversation.’

“That’s what Ms. Bourgeois will represent to people. They will be casually driving down the block and see it, they’ll be casually walking down the street or jogging and they’ll stop.

“Ninety-six years-old she’s still with us. What a gift it is to this City to have a world class, internationally renowned artist… to have San Francisco finally lay claim to one of those pieces of Art.”

Arts Commissioner Larry Rinder, who authored Louise Bourgeois: Drawings & Observations with Bourgeois and serves as Dean of the California College of the Arts, spoke to the significance to women of Bourgeois work.

“She persisted, and she persisted even as her male colleagues excelled around the world, and she continued without bitterness, without giving up,” stated Rinder.

Bourgeous continued “to work in an incredible variety of media, not just sculpture, but painting and drawing, installation art — she even recorded a rap CD,” Rinder stressed.

“She also to this day continues to welcome and encourage younger artists to come visit her home with the offer of feedback on her work.”

Louise Bourgeous now weaves nurture to San Francisco across the generations.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme. Appreciate it

You could definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The sector hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to say how they believe. All the time go after your heart. I actually thought it was so well written that I have linked to your site from my site! Here is the link http://www.arselin.com/sites-we-like/.

You…are…my…hero!!! I cant believe something like this exists on the internet! Its so true, so honest, and more than that you dont sound like an idiot! Finally, someone who knows how to talk about a subject without sounding like a kid who didnt get that bike he wanted for Christmas.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

Many thanks for making the effort to discuss this, I feel strongly about this and love studying a great deal more on this subject. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your weblog with a great deal more info? It’s extremely useful for me.

You can even buy Louis Vuitton designer bags online. Some great sites you can buy them at are Amazon, EBay or review sites like Bizrate, Pricegrabber or Shopzilla. You can also get discounts when you shop for these designer bags online.

Look Leave Tim Tebow alone. I know his grandparents and yes he is great and good looking but it is not our business on who Tim is dating. He is a football star. Pay attention to his ability to play football and not his personal life. Even if he is a star or not he has the right to keep his personal life to his self. It is not the worlds business. He is not GAY and it does not matter if he is or not but i know for a fact that his personal life is nobody business.

I want to thanks for the efforts you have created in writing this article. i am hoping the same best work from you within the future moreover. indeed your creative writing skill has inspired me to get my very own blog currently. really the blogging is spreading its wings quickly. Your write up could be a fine model of it.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive learn anything like this before. So nice to find any person with some authentic thoughts on this subject. realy thanks for beginning this up. this website is something that is needed on the internet, someone with a bit originality. useful job for bringing something new to the web!

Excellent blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!

I would like to convey my admiration for your generosity in support of males and girls that have the need for help with this certain concern. Your particular dedication to finding the message all over had been wonderfully productive and have all of the time produced specialists a lot like me to attain their dreams. Your personal invaluable tutorial means an excellent deal to me and furthermore to my workplace workers. Thank you; from everyone of us.

This is a good posting, I was wondering if I could use this write-up on my website, I will link it back to your website though. If this is a problem please let me know and I will take it down right away

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Somebody generally help to make seriously articles I’d state. Here is the very first time I frequented your internet site and thus far? I surprised with the research you made to make this amazing post awesome. Wonderful job!

One of the more impressive blogs Ive seen. Thanks so much for keeping the internet classy for a change. Youve got style, class, bravado. I mean it. Please keep it up because without the internet is definitely lacking in intelligence.

Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any assistance is very much appreciated. 75a8ed4762ef63daf945bae0a7a97d43

Thanks for writing this. I really feel as though I know so much more about this than I did before. Your blog really brought some things to light that I never would have thought about before reading it. You should continue this, Im sure most people would agree youve got a gift.

One more unbelievable factor is actually in which some people have got uncontrolable blushing. It is possible to quit blushing. Just by training a few easy techniques, and some dietary changes and also discover undertake a a lot more ejoyable and calm living.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Appreciate it!

Would you mind if I quote a handful of you as long as Presented credit and sources back to your internet site? My website is within the exact same specialized niche as yours and my visitors would genuinely take advantage of a lot of the information you provide here. Please tell me if this type of alright along with you. Thanks a lot!

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

So nice to uncover somebody by incorporating original thoughts on this subject. realy thanks for beginning this up. this web site is one area that is needed over the internet, somebody with a bit of originality. valuable work for bringing something totally new to the internet!

So great to discover somebody with some special concepts on this topic. realy thank you for beginning this up. this website is something that is required on the net, somebody with somewhat originality. beneficial job for bringing something new to the internet!

Aw, this was a really nice post. In concept I wish to put in writing like this additionally – taking time and actual effort to make an excellent article… however what can I say… I procrastinate alot and in no way seem to get one thing done.

Hiya, I’m really glad I’ve found this information. Today bloggers publish only about gossips and internet and this is really irritating. A good site with interesting content, this is what I need. Thank you for keeping this web-site, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can not find it.

Good – I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and related information ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it at all. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, website theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Nice task.

I would like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this website. I am hoping the same high-grade web site post from you in the upcoming as well. In fact your creative writing skills has inspired me to get my own web site now. Actually the blogging is spreading its wings quickly. Your write up is a great example of it.

This is certainly my initial stop by and I really like what I’m seeing. Your weblog is so much fun to look over, quite compelling as well as informative. I’ll undoubtedly recommend it to my friends. Nevertheless, I did have some problem with the commenting. It kept giving me an problem whenever I clicked on publish comment. I hope, that can be fixed. Many thanks. .

What are you indicating, man? I realize everyones got their own opinion, but really? Listen, your website is neat. I like the energy you put into it, particularly with the vids and the pics. But, come on. Theres gotta be a better way to say this, a way that doesnt make it seem like everyone here is stupid!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

One thing I want to say is that often before getting more personal computer memory, take a look at the machine in which it would be installed. Should the machine is actually running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory limit is 3.25GB. Adding in excess of this would merely constitute just a waste. Make sure one’s mother board can handle this upgrade quantity, as well. Good blog post.
